urban myth? re: buying domains?

Lipshtich Lady · 01-20-2008, 02:09 PM

I have read various information in a few places - thought I would ask the experts here...

For Example: I buy a domain from someone and that domain and their corresponding site has good page ranking from google for the keywords I want to target. Once the name change goes through and the whois changes - does google redo what ever google does?

I have heard this is a yes from some and and a noway from others??

Ownership of a site is not what gives it a pagerank, however making changes to a site can affect the pagerank. So the actual answer to your site is yes and no. If you make absolutely no changes nothing should change, however no one buys a site and doesn't make changes, so there may be a change.

Google constantly indexes sites, so if it sees changes to something that has a high ranking it has to decide whether or not the changes change the nature of the site.

But in basic, no google does not change a sites ranking based on whois, it will only change it based on content, links etc.

Thanks for the info daedal. I didn't know most of that, but I'm always curious about people selling a PR2 site that has nothing on it...

There are loads of tricks that enable a page to appear to have a ranking, but in fact the page is just "stealing" the ranking from another page.

Buy domain names for traffic and inbound links, but forget about the concept of PR - it's meaningless. Even Google says it is "for entertainment purposes only". I believe it was just a con to persuade the gullible to install the Google spybar.

Things that can affect the importance of a site are -
the name expiring
the name being deleted
change of content
variations in the number of inbound links
Google's perception of the honesty of a site
etc......

Change of ownership or hosting shouldn't be a factor unless it results in the domain being off line for some time.

To clarify my question - I didnt meant page rank and search result ranking

daedal · 01-20-2008, 05:18 PM

Theres no proof that google changes anything based on whois information or change of ownership.

Just make sure the the domain has no downtime and no changes, move it and let it sit for a while then continue updating.

Changing where a page is hosted COULD have an effect on the rankings if you use a shared host. Some of the incoming links would then be seen as same host links.

Other than that, I doubt you would take a hit.
